The die cast aluminum fitting slips over the top of the T-post and accom- modates standard 1-3/8" diameter top rail. According to Kenny Tharp, Pace Industries sales manager for die cast aluminum fence fittings, T-post fences offer the benefits of fast installation and low cost, and the use of top rail can enhance their appearance and practicality. Aesthetically, the addition of the top rail gives the T-post fence a dressier, distinctive look, and on the practical side it allows you to strengthen the fence by tying off woven wire or chain link to the top rail to keep it from sagging. Other possible uses, Tharp said, are as a structure to support decorative vines or in grape vineyards, as a way to build a quick dog pen, or for temp fencing. Pace Industries is an integrated company that provides die casting, manufacturing and engineering solu- tions worldwide.
